Meeting Description:

>From Latin subvertere, ‘turning something from the bottom upwards’, the term
Subversion denotes specific transformational operations falling on fundamental
principles regulating Sciences or Systems of Thought (Battaglia, Grande
dizionario della lingua italiana). 
In human history, the periodical recurrence of preconceived schemata overturn
concerning various branches of knowledge beseeches for shattering
anachronistic models and speculations through the firing up of a new,
regenerative and contingent revolutionary act. «The ultimate subversion […]
does not necessarily consist in saying what shocks public opinion, morality,
the law, the police, but in inventing a paradoxical (pure of any doxa)
discourse» (Barthes 1971). 

The fourth Graduate Conference of the University of Naples ‘L’Orientale’ will
arrange for a cultural environment that would facilitate choral discussions on
transformations serving to «foundations and renovations of the foundations
themselves» (Foucault 1969), encouraging multidisciplinary approaches for the
examination of dedicated case studies.
